When a filmmaker takes on a story based on the crimes committed by a real serial killer, they have to walk a fine line. If they cross that line, it can feel disrespectful to the victims… and can even seem like they’re glorifying the killer. That’s not something Devanny Pinn intends to do with her feature directorial debut a 1970s serial killer tale called Black Mass. Speaking with Rue Morgue, she revealed that Black Mass focuses on the victims rather than the killer.
Inspired by real events, Black Mass is set over a 24-hour period in Florida during the winter of 1978 when college girls were being stalked by a serial killer. Eric Pereira and Brandon Slagle wrote the screenplay. Cast members include Lew Temple (The Devil’s Rejects), Jeremy London (Mallrats), Lisa Wilcox (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master), Michelle Romano (Escape From Ensenada), Kathleen Kinmont...

Dear Creature: Oh, how I wanted to love you! In your second shot, you present a lovely young woman (Jennifer Lynn Warren) taking off all of her clothes on the riverbank of a swamp in broad daylight. Everything! Broad daylight! She's naked! Your director, Fred Andrews, then makes sure that the woman doesn't dip her body under the water too far, so that the murky surface does not prevent us from casting our collective male gaze of appreciation upon all of her physical charms. I smiled with appreciation at the good sense and taste of Mr. Andrews. Obviously, he knows what horror fans want! Then an alligator eats the naked girl.
